When Outpatient Therapy Is Not Enough
If you are a mental health provider, physician, or healthcare professional working with patients whose symptoms are not improving through traditional outpatient therapy, Inward Healthcare offers a trusted step down or step up in care. Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provide structured, clinically rigorous treatment for individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma-related disorders, and other behavioral health concerns.
Higher Levels of Mental Health Care for Adults
Patients who are experiencing functional impairment, increased symptoms, or repeated crises often need more than once-a-week therapy. At Inward Healthcare, our PHP and IOP programs offer intensive therapeutic support that helps stabilize symptoms, build real-life coping skills, and provide ongoing structure. We welcome referrals from:
- Outpatient therapists and psychiatrists
- Primary care physicians and specialists
- College counseling centers
- Hospitals and crisis stabilization units
- Employee assistance programs (EAPs)
- Case managers and social workers

What Is the Difference Between PHP and IOP?
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Our PHP is the most structured outpatient program we offer, ideal for individuals needing daily therapeutic support.
- 5 days a week
- 5–6 hours per day
- Includes individual therapy, process groups, psychiatry, and wellness support
- Appropriate for patients stepping down from inpatient or those needing structured care post-crisis
- Depending on the age group we also offer educational services
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
IOP is designed for patients who need more than weekly therapy but do not require the full-day support of PHP.
- 3–5 days a week
- 3 hours per day
- Includes group therapy, individual sessions, and skill-building
- Offers flexibility for patients working or attending school
Trusted Step-Down Care After Residential Mental Health Treatment
Inward Healthcare offers a seamless and clinically sound step-down option for patients discharging from residential mental health treatment facilities who still need structured support. Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provide continuity of care, helping clients apply newly learned skills in real-world settings while maintaining therapeutic structure. With personalized treatment plans, medication management, licensed clinicians, and options for virtual or in-person participation, Inward Healthcare ensures a smooth transition that supports lasting recovery and long-term success.
Support for Hospitals and Crisis Discharge Teams
Step-Down Care After a 5150 Hold
If your hospital or facility is discharging a patient who has recently completed a 5150 psychiatric hold, Inward Healthcare’s PHP is a vital next step. Our program bridges the gap between inpatient stabilization and long-term recovery by offering a safe, structured, therapeutic environment for individuals who are medically stable but emotionally vulnerable.
We provide rapid intake coordination and individualized care plans to ensure continuity and reduce the risk of rehospitalization. Our team collaborates with hospital social workers, discharge planners, and psychiatrists to create smooth transitions into our PHP.
